Director of the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights Josh Ruebner, author of Shattered Hopes: Obama’s Failure to Broker Israeli-Palestinian Peace, joins the show to discuss his latest article “New U.S. bill would punish settlement boycotters.”
Ruebner explains how the act would criminalize U.S. corporations and
individuals for supporting or furthering the impact of a boycott-divest-sanction (BDS) movement against
Israel.
Despite obvious major free speech restrictions the bill has
support from both Democrats and Republicans, many of whom are already
backing off their commitment to the bill.
What’s really disturbing about
the bill according to Ruebner is that companies could be criminalized
even if their business decisions had the effect, but not intent, of
furthering a boycott of Israel. Beyond that, if the bill became law,
Attorney General Sessions would have the power to jail someone ostensibly for their political beliefs.

Ruebner explains how the
bill has already created blowback against AIPAC and Israel: Constituents
are pressing members of Congress on this issue for the first time and
the progressive wing of the Democratic party is feeling more emboldened
to speak out in support of the Palestinians, making it clear that the
base of democratic voters no longer on board with Israeli policy of the
past.
Finally, Ruebner discusses the necessary conditions for a
political solution between Israel and Palestine and how the BDS movement
has successfully convinced companies to divest from Israel.
